Ayşedeniz Gökçin

Ayşedeniz Gökçin (born January 4, 1988; anglicised as "AyseDeniz Gokcin") is a Turkish classical pianist and composer.

She is known for recording an EP of her arrangements for solo piano of the music of the rock band Pink Floyd in the style of Franz Liszt, Pink Floyd Lisztified. The EP comprises three tracks, which, she says, form a fantasia. These are:


 * 1) "Hey You"
 * 2) "Wish You Were Here"
 * 3) "Another Brick in the Wall"

The first and third being from the 1979 album The Wall, the middle one the eponymous 1975 Wish You Were Here.

Gökçin describes her arrangement of Another Brick... as being inspired by Liszt's 'Dante Sonata'.

She has also recorded an album of reworkings of the music of Ástor Piazzolla.

Her album The Nirvana Project, launched in November 2015, is a virtuoso piano re-working of famous Nirvana songs, in collaboration with Bulgarian music producer and DJ Ivan Shopov.
